Blues Run the Game

[Chorus]

Catch a boat to England, baby

Maybe to Spain

Wherever I have gone

Wherever I've been and gone

Wherever I have gone

The blues have run the game

[Verse 1]

Send out for whiskey, baby

Send out for gin

Me and room service, honey

Me and room service, babe

Me and room service

Well, we're living a life of sin

[Verse 2]

When I ain't drinking, baby

You are on my mind

When I ain't sleeping, honey

When I ain't sleeping, mama

When I ain't sleeping

Well, you know you find me crying

[Chorus]

Catch a boat to England, baby

Maybe to Spain

Wherever I have gone

Wherever I've been and gone

Wherever I have gone

The blues have run the game

[Verse 3]

Living is a gamble, baby

Loving's much the same

Wherever I have played

Wherever I throw those dice

Wherever I have played

The blues have run the game

[Verse 4]

Maybe when I'm older, baby

Someplace down the line

I'll wake up older

So much older, mama

Wake up older

And I'll just stop all my trying

[Chorus]

Catch a boat to England, baby

Maybe to Spain

Wherever I have gone

Wherever I've been and gone

Wherever I have gone

The blues are all the same
